Neuropsychological Evaluations
Neuropsychological assessments are designed to examine difficulties with memory, attention, and a decline in cognitive functioning. Evaluations for children and teens include IQ, academic and achievement testing (with ADHD), and behavioral and emotional assessment. An evaluation includes a series of iPad and paper-and-pencil tests, instead of MRI machines.
Adults who may have never been assessed for ADHD concerns may consider a neuropsychological evaluation. Additionally, children and teens with acting out behaviors and challenges in school may consider a neuropsychological evaluation. Aging adults noticing changes in their abilities may also consider a neuropsychological evaluation. Finally, motor vehicle accident survivors experiencing a loss in functioning or people with traumatic brain injury concerns should consider this type of evaluation. These assessments explore activities of daily living and any troubling new cognitive, behavioral, or personality developments. Health and safety practices, as well as independent living skills, are addressed.
Academic Achievement Evaluations
Cognitive and Learning evaluations, also known as Academic Achievement Testing, includes IQ assessment, followed by broad academic achievement testing (Tests of Dyslexia, WIAT-4) and focused attention in the domains of mathematics, written expression, and reading to determine specific learning disorders, intellectual disability, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
What is included in a Cognitive and Learning Evaluation:
When you sign up your child or teenager for a 4-hour Cognitive and Learning evaluation, you can expect an IQ assessment, followed by broad academic achievement testing and focused attention in the domains of mathematics, written expression, and reading. Parents or legal guardians will also complete electronic forms on a designated iPad on the day of the evaluation. If you have ever wondered if your child or teen may struggle with ADHD, or a specific learning disorder, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia, this evaluation is for you. Reports conclude with targeted, evidence-based treatment recommendations.
What is not included in Cognitive and Learning Evaluations:
Testing for emotional functioning, including symptoms of mood disorders (major depressive disorder), anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder, is not included in a Cognitive and Learning evaluation.

Pre-Adoption Psychological Evaluations
Adoption agencies require a psychological assessment as standardized procedure to assess parental preparedness. This includes an interview with both members of the couple, together and individually. Evaluations include an in-depth clinical interview of occupational history, emotional well-being, stress management, coping skills, and concerns regarding the adoption process. Following a clinical interview, couples will be asked to complete one or two personality and adaptive functioning measures. Dr. Burgoyne will work closely with your international or domestic adoption agency to confirm the evaluation contains all necessary measures before your appointment. Pre-Adoption evaluations are not considered medically necessary and are not covered by insurance.
Psychological Evaluations
Psychological evaluations assess mental health concerns, such as emotional and behavioral health. People who are struggling interpersonally, experience free-floating or specific anxiety, sadness and low moods, obsessive qualities related to work or home life, or other mental health concerns may consider a psychological evaluation. These assessments provide a clear diagnosis, next steps for both the individual therapists and client, and advance individual therapy quickly.
